Same Subject

(U) This memorandum provides background information for a
meeting between you and the JFK Assassination Records Review Board
(ARRB), which is scheduled for 16 October 1996 in your office
between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. The meeting was requested by ARRB
Chairman, John Tunheim as a courtesy call.

(U) Background: Mr. Tunheim, recently appointed a federal =:

judge in Minnesota, asked that he and the other four Board members

have an opportunity to provide you with a brief description of the

Board‘s purpose and activities. The Board's Executive Director,

David Marwell, and General Counsel, Jeremy Gunn will also parti-

cipate.: The .ARRB members were appointed by President Clinton in .

°1993 as required by statute. Their principal responsibility is to

ensure public disclosure of. all: government records related to the
assassination of President Kennedy.

(FOUO) Topics the Board May Discuss: The Board probably
will discuss their concern about whetHer they will be able to
complete their work by the congressionally-imposed deadline of =
October 1997. This concern relates to the very time-consuming
process that the ARRB and its 30-person staff is obliged to use
in reviewing all of the thousands of relevant documents that are
redacted, which for CIA comprise the bulk of our documents.

(FOUO) The Board may also seek your personal commitment to
continue the Agency’s dedication of resources--people and
computer capability--to the review of JFK documents. CIA has
worked closely with the Board and its staff from the beginning.

SUBJECT: Courtesy Visit of JFK Assassination
Records Review Board, 16 October 1996

We have succeeded thus far in working out cooperative arrange-
ments for resolving differences of opinion as to what information:
can be released to the public and what should be withheld because
of sensitivities.

(U) The Board may also express interest in gaining access to
records that are not part of the JFK records (the sequestered
collection), but which the Board regards as possibly containing
useful background information or leads for further inquiry. We
have released some 227,000 pages of relevant Agency records thus
far and are continuing to collaborate with the Board to identify
additional information that can be released. ;

(U) Suggested Talking Points: You may want to emphasize the
Agency’s commitment to continuing the very positive relationship
with the Board, including making people and computer expertise
available to process relevant documents.

(S) You may want to assure the Board that CIA is determined
to give the Board and designated staff full access to all assas~-
sination records, as required by the JFK statute. At the same time,
it would: be helpful to stress that there are certain categories of
sensitive information that require continued protection and should
not be released. Among the types of information contained in the
JFK records tHat we need to protect are: ~

~ Identities of agents and CIA officers who retired under’
cover.

- The Agency‘s relationships with liaison services, and
information received from foreign governments.

-- A specific example in this category is the-Agency ’ Ss
current request ich meee Board to protect

- Need to protect non-official cover.
-~ The Board is planning at its 15-16 October meeting
to review documents that identify (companies /that
provided (Commercial cover} We are arranging to have
the DO brief the Board on “the potential damage to the
non-official cover program and involved if
such cover is compromised. .

DAVID G. MARWELL

Biographical Informaton

On July 1, 1994, the Berlin Document Center (BDC) was transferred to tie German
Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv) marking the end of nearly 48 years of American control
of this unique organization. With an esumated 25 million Nazi-era personnel -related files,
the BDC was once a crucial source.of evidence for the Nuremberg Tnals and is today an
incalculably important source for the study of the Third Reich. The transfer also marked
the end of David Manvell’s tenure as Director of the BDC.

A well-trained scholar with a PH.D. in History, Marwell came to Berlin in 1988 from
the Office of Special Investigations (OSI), U.S. Department of Justice where he held the
position of Chief of Investigative Research. At OSI, he was involved in researching and
preparing cases against accused Nazi war criminals residing in the United States. In
addition, he was selected to participate in the Klaus Barbie Investigation (1983) and played

a major role in the Josef Mengcele investigation (1985), both of which received
international attention.

In connection with the Joseph Mcengele and Klaus Barbic invesugauions, Marwcll was
in charge of assembling all relevant documentary evidence relating to any possible
connection between these individuals and U.S. institutions or personnel. The
investigations were two of the most unusual ever undertaken and through them he gained
siginificant experiences in the identifying and locating documentary resources. The former
Director of OSI, Allan A. Ryan, Jr., in his book Quiet Neighbors: Prosecuting Nazi War
Criminals in America, descnbed Marwell as “an experienced and careful histonan who
could find documenté i in archives when no one else could.”

When Marwell arrived at the Document Center, the institution had been rocked by a
scandal involving a significant theft of documents. The resulting focus on the Center

_ revealed that it had been negiccted in many areas for many ycars and suffered from an

outmoded administrative structure, a disaffected and undertrained staff-and a lack of

professional guidance. It was Marwell’s job to bring the Center up to standard and prepare
it for tumover to the German govemment. +
r

The challenges facing Marwell were not only to manage a complex insutugon (with
an annual budget of cigtt million deutschmarks) and repair past deficiencies, but also to

define a future for an institution in transition. He prepared a “five vear plain” for the BDC

that set five goals, developed a corresponding program to meet cach goal. and designed a
system to monitor the progress. In achieving all of the goals. Marwell -

Introduced computer technology (there was not a single computer at the
BDC when he arrived) and developed a sophisticated, integrated infonnation

retricval system that has been described as a mode} for archive
administration:

Created a fully professional document conservation and restoration program:
